I.Hate.That.Show. Words can not express my loathing. I respect that other people like it, it just makes my soul die a little everytime I see it. I'm sorry, I see there are people who enjoy that one. Maybe chowder would have been a better example??

Seriously, AT is fucking great. It pushes the boundaries of animation and censorship In a delightful manner.

I don't doubt that it pushes the boundaries of censorship and animation, I am just willing to debate about how delightful it is. Again, I respect that people like it, I just don't; I should have used a different example I think

The boundaries of animation, probably not. But as it stands, Adventure Time is definitely one of the best "daytime cartoons" I can think of. It definitely takes something from shows like Rocky & Bullwinkle and Ren & Stimpy in that it's first and foremost a show for kids, yes, but it contains quite a bit of content that just soars over the heads of children. And unlike the other shows I mentioned, there's quite a bit of backstory and implied stuff in Adventure Time (the great mushroom war, Princess Bubblegum and marceline, the ice king, etc etc.), and that's what puts that that show so far ahead of most other shows in my book. Well, that and It's surprisingly hilarious for a kids show.

They have a bit of that in MLP as well, like characters from The Big Lebowski making a small Cameo. I don't like to consider myself a Brony though... Just somebody who enjoys the show. From what I have seen, Bronies are... very creepy about liking the ponies and stuff, I think you may know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean and that is the big reason I made this thread. I have seen about 10 episodes of the show now and can resonably say that its ok, I still don't understand what has made it the huge...internet event that it is. Is it like a meme?? and by that I mean has it become what it is in the same manner as the meme or is this another creature altogether?? I think this is where me and Log! have an understanding, we don't get the explosion of ponies on the internet.

First, a few apologies. I know I am necroing and I am sorry, I found something I thought was relevant and thought I would share it with people (like me and log!) who are having trouble understanding this weird...cultural movement.

Second, I know I am double posting but that seemed apropriate too, deal with it.

Found an articule about the origins of the fanbase and found it kinda of interesting How 4chan gave birth to the bronies I can't relate to some of the fans mentioned but I never would have figured 4chan for the origins of this group..I can't imagine they would survive there let alone defeat the trolls of the /co/ boards.

...wait I just gave relevant information without asking a question...how cool is that??
